Design Museum Brussels

This guide to Design Museum Brussels traces the collection to 1987, when a man named Philippe Decelle spotted a discarded molded plastic chair poking out of a rubbish heap in a Brussels suburb, and took it home. It follows how one rescued chair turned into decades of collecting, chairs, lamps, radios and toys, filling three floors of his own house with plastic design history. Look closely at the pieces around you as evidence of a decade too often dismissed as garish.
